Overload! How Too Much Information is Hazardous

Simon Reilly

Jonathan B. Spira’s book Overload! How Too Much Information is Hazardous to your Organization caught my eye a few weeks ago.

It’s hard to believe that Duran Duran’s song Too Much Information was published in 1993 at the dawn of the information / internet age.

“Too Much Information”

Destroyed by MTV,
I hate to bite the hand that
Feeds me so much information
The Pressure’s on the screen
To sell you things that you don’t need
It’s too much information for me

Hey TV Child look into my eyes
Here by intervention I want your attention

Promotion Boy in a suit and tie
He wants you to use it
You’re too shot to loose it

Feeling the pinch of constant information overload, back in November of 2010 I coined the phrase Imagifragmentation meaning that too much information is fragmenting my concentration and imagination.

So I am always looking for ways to manage information to create the space for concentration and imagination.

Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn,
a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter.
If your mind isn’t clouded by unnecessary things,
this is the best season of your life.

– Wu-Men
